Easy Holiday Solutions ~ Hit Movie Gifts For Everyone On Your List

Without fail, each holiday season, we find ourselves struggling to find gifts for certain people on our list or surprised by an unexpected attendee at a family gathering for gift exchange. My husband and I found an easy tactic to employ for both situations that always ends in success. In truth, once we began this holiday gift tradition, after years of treating ourselves to new movies to add to our home collections, we were bemused that we had not thought of it sooner.

Whether the latest new releases or a digitally remastered classic film on Blu-Ray, we find picking up movies to use as holiday gifts is a easy and affordable solution. We have even taken to selecting a few extra titles to serve as the extra and unexpected gift needs that often arise. Below, you will find a selection of some of our favorite new releases for 2012 from the collections of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

FOR MOM ~

The Best Exotic Marigold
Hotel

Any lovely ladies in your life would love a copy of the sometimes
romantic, sometimes funny but always endearing Best Exotic Marigold Hotel this holiday season! This tale follows seven
cash-strapped seniors who decide to “outsource” their retirement to a resort in
far-off India, and while taken out of their comfort zone, friendship and
romance blossom in the most unexpected ways. The film also boasts an
award-winning cast of all-stars, including Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, and Tom
Wilkinson.

I have received various movie titles to review for the purposes of creating this feature. The opinions above are both honest and of my own experiences. Images sourced from Fox Home Entertainment.

I can't wait to see the Abraham Lincoln movie, it's going to be great! Also can't wait to watch Frosty The Snowman with my daughter, what a classic! Hubby and I both have Thursdays off, so we usually grab a redbox movie and watch it together with our daughter.
